Patent AU-2011282171-A1 (AU)
Title: Improved impeller attachment method
Inventor: PADDOCK DOUGLAS
IPC: C12M1/06
Filed: 2011-07-20
Abstract: A pump is provided having an impeller in combination with a power transmission shaft. The impeller has a tapered bore with impeller threads. The power transmission shaft has a shaft end with tapered threads configured to couple directly to the impeller threads of the tapered bore of the impeller, to transmit torque directly through the tapered threads, and to provide self axial or radial alignment even if the coupling of the tapered threads and the impeller threads of the tapered bore start out of alignment. The tapered thread configuration substantially reduces investment in lifting equipment and time by maintenance personnel because it eliminates the need for maintenance personnel to precisely align the impeller threads and the tapered threads before attaching or removing the impeller and the tapered threads release much more quickly from the impeller than a standard thread configuration, reducing the number of turns the power transmission shaft must be rotated by hand to free it from the impeller.

Title: Method and apparatus for enhancing keycap legend visibility in low light conditions
Inventor: MOLLER RONALD
IPC: G06F3/02
Filed: 2011-08-02
Abstract: Techniques and apparatus to provide improved visibility to user input devices, such as keys, are disclosed. In low light conditions, keys can be difficult to distinguish. For example, often keys have legends on them to visually distinguish them from one another, but in low light conditions it can be difficult for users to visually distinguish the different keys. The legends can be textual and/or graphic. Hence, according to one embodiment, light from a nearby display device can be used to provide illumination to the user input devices (e.g., keys). More particularly, in one embodiment, some light from the nearby display device can be directed towards and reflected from the user input devices (e.g., keys) to enhance visibility of the keys or the legends thereon.

Title: Fire-retardant, fire-retardant banded cigarette paper, and manufacturing method for same
Inventor: WANG QICHENG
IPC: D21H27/22
Filed: 2012-04-20
Abstract: The present invention applies to a fire-retardant, a fire-retardant banded cigarette paper, and a manufacturing method for same, wherein the retardant contains 10 to 30% of film-forming material by weight, 10 to 30% of filler material by weight, and 40 to 80% of solvent by weight. At least one band of fire-retardant is applied on the front or back side of the cigarette paper by means of printing to form a fire-retardant band having a width of 2 to 8 mm. The present invention relates to the technical field of manufacturing fire-retardant banded cigarettes, and reduces the air permeability of the strip coating section whereon the fire-retardant band is applied, said section being printed onto the base paper of the cigarette paper and having a fixed spacing. When the cigarette naturally burns to the fire-retardant section, the fire-retardant band absorbs heat and reduces the amount of oxygen which can enter, thereby causing the cigarette to extinguish. If the cigarette is smoked after having reached the fire-retardant band, the cigarette is supplied with oxygen and continues to burn.
